123: Sophisticated Hound

On the final week of Mercer Grassroots March we sat down with Matt Barnett, the owner of Sophisticated Hound Brewing Company. His journey has taken him from a Master’s Degree in Business from WVU, to taking his hobby of homebrewing full-time by opening his own taproom on Mercer Street in Princeton. Keeping it local is important to him and we discuss the process of becoming a successful brewer in Appalachia.
